The Assault class appears to be the most popular choice among Battlefield 6 players (based on my experience with random strangers), and it’s very easy to misunderstand what you have to do.
The Assault class is simple to learn but extremely hard to master. Like all other classes, there are different ways to build and play with it. Here’s how you can make it shine with the best loadout in Battlefield 6.
Best Assault loadout in Battlefield 6
| Category | Choice |
|---|---|
| Primary | NVO-228E Assault Rifle |
| Siidearm | M45A1 |
| Gadget One | M87A1 |
| Gadget Two | High Explosive Launcher |
| Throweable | Frag Grenade |
| Field Spec | Adrenaline Injector |
A number of components of this loadout will be locked when you’re just getting started in Battlefield 6. Your first task will be to unlock three components—the Frotliner class, the High Explosive Launcher, and the NVO-228E Assault Rifle.
Unlocking all three will take a fair amount of time and effort. You should only play with the Assault class and try to complete as many objectives as possible.
Let’s begin with Frontliner. While Breacher is fine for beginners, Frotline is better due to the Quick Recovery ability. As you’ll be leading your offense, you’re guaranteed to get hit. Quick Recovery allows you to get 50% faster healing at a 50% improved rate. Secondly, Rally Squad grants you and your teammates a temporary Adrenaline effect that gets extended with your kills. Soft Landing and Adrenaline Rush are also advantageous bonuses.
NVO-228E is the king of current meta, and it’s arguably the best assault rifle. While the range isn’t the best, its damage is top-notch. It can shred through multiple enemies in one round as long as you can manage the aim. You also get plenty of choices with different attachments to tweak the weaknesses.
The Assault class can carry a second primary weapon as one of its gadgets, and I have gone for the M87A1. It’s unlocked by default, does a lot of damage in short range, and satisfies all my needs. It’s excellent at getting you out of tight or low-ammo situations.
While the Thermobaric Launcher is pretty decent at breaching down doors and corners, I have opted for High Explosive instead. The launcher, combined with frag grenades, can often land you some unlikely kills and also provide you with strategic benefits in modes where you can capture locations.
Here are key tips to excel with this loadout.
- While your role is to lead your line, you should also know when to hide from damage.
- Don’t engage against armored and heavy vehicles, as you don’t have any countermeasures.
- Use your launcher to sweep areas or to open a new path to attack for your squad.
- Try to get a friend who plays well as a support, since the two classes can combine well.
